    Phoronix: Linux 2.6.36-rc8 Kernel Makes An Appearance

    While last week it looked like the Linux 2.6.36 kernel was just days away with Linus Torvalds expecting the 2.6.36-rc7 release to be the last test milestone, this has turned out not to be the case as this afternoon a 2.6.36-rc8 kernel has made a debut...

            The first patch(es) that were talked about on Phoronix, yes. The second batch that Phoronix talked about and should do further improvements, no.

              For desktop responsiveness, BFS has been rebased for 2.6.36 already:

                  Apparently Linus is blaming Gmail for the lack of announcement http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/15/436
